While the iPhone Air Magsafe battery isn’t compatible with other iPhone models, the battery pack’s USB-C port can charge some smaller accessories.
As noted by 9to5mac’s Zak Hall, the iPhone Air Magsafe battery product page has this line:
Charge smaller accessories using USB-C
Apple says the iPhone’s USB-C port can charge an AirPods case, Apple Watch, or other small device that supports USB Power Delivery up to 4.5W, and the USB-C port on the iPhone Air Magsafe battery likely does the same.
As long as the iPhone Air Magsafe battery has sufficient charge, connecting the USB-C cable from the battery to the small accessory will start charging the accessory—it could even be something like a small USB-powered fan.
Apple’s original Magsafe battery with Lightning port couldn’t charge small accessories like the AirPods case or Apple Watch this way.
You can order the iPhone Air Magsafe Battery now, and US pricing is $99.
